CLEVELAND (AP) — A former substitute teacher who became pregnant during an affair with a 17-year-old high school football player was sentenced on Tuesday to three days in jail and five years of probation.
Christine Scarlett, 40, pleaded guilty May 11 to five felony charges — three counts of sexual battery and two counts of disseminating obscene materials to a juvenile. The charges carried a potential 17 years in prison.
Judge Dick Ambrose said he ordered probation because Scarlett had no previous criminal record and has obligations as a mother. She has a 3-year-old son from the relationship and two other children with her husband.
